Kids’ Forza Horizon 2 Designs Will Be Featured in Game

Forza Horizon 2’s signature Lamborghini Huracán is one of the sleekest and most elegantly designed objects ever created by human hands. You’d probably never think of painting teeth, fish, or pink hearts and roses on one. But you aren’t a kid.

Xbox teamed up with Lamborghini, Hot Wheels and Boys & Girls Clubs of America to offer 100s of kids a chance to design their own Forza 2 Horizon cars. Below are the designs that were chosen to be included as downloadable liveries in the game and will be available soon. There’s a monster theme, some kind of Finding Nemo thing I dunno, and the work of a kid who couldn’t decide if they liked flowers or patriotism better and split the difference.

The winners were unveiled at a “Kids into Car Lovers Day” event celebrating the launch of Forza Horizon 2 at the Santa Monica Boys & Girls Club.  The event was designed to foster a love of cars in kids, and they also got to play the game with the custom liveries installed, see a fleet of Lambos,  and were given Hot Wheels toys.

Is there room to point out that it’s a little weird to parade cars that cost a quarter of a million bucks and up at a center for often underprivileged kids? Yes, there certainly is. But it’s also a much warmer and more humanitarian event than most self-centered video game launch parties, so we’re going to give Xbox the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume their hearts are in the right place. And yeah, we’ll play with the pink car, too.
